foliola interiora 12°0-18-0 cm. long., 5:0-9:0 em. lat., omnia crebre pellucido-punctata ; 
costee secundari: utrinque circa 6, una cum costá mediá subtus maxime eminentes :

According to Silva Manso, the true Para-todo is his Bignonia aurea, already 
referred to, but the present plant is certainly different from that. Although 1 could get 
neither its flowers nor its fruit, 1 feel convinced that my plant is a Zabebuia, sessile 
external leaflets being characteristic of many species of the genus. 
As its name implies, the plant is considered a universal specific by the credulous 
country-people.
